States are big. Its hard to know how any individual's environment is like, based upon a state rating. I'd love to see rating by county. I'll bet there are some counties in Wa that might not be so great, and maybe even some counties in Arkansas that are OK.

Still - congrats on living in place where the state govt takes cycling seriously. Even though CA didn't make the top of the list, I think they are trying. At least ner me in Orange County, the facilities are really good.
